ONLY 29,500 ORIGINAL MILES!! This is a great Corvette with the L82 Engine. Only 5 owners, garage kept, t-tops with cases. This car runs very strong and is tons of fun to drive! As far as I can tell, everything on the car is original. I know that the engine number matches the VIN; however, I'm not sure about the transmission - it hasn't been checked. I think the car had been re-painted but it's been a while - there is some of that yellowing/spidering that is typical with those fiberglass bodies. It appears that it was painted the original color; the trim tag in the door indicates the exterior color is silver. From my research, I think the interior is original also. I purchased it in 2001 from a dealership in Pennsylvania; it had been traded in by a gentleman that I actually spoke to on the phone prior to purchasing the car. That individual had purchased the car in 1995 and it had about 24000 miles on it. According to his research, he was the third owner and the second owner had the car from 1989 to 1985. As best as anyone can tell, the original owner had the car from 1979 to 1989 and put about 20000 - 23000 miles on it. As far as I know, it hasn't been in any accidents. There is a tear in the carpet on the passenger side directly in front of the seat (one of the photos shows this). Other that that, I'm not aware of any other issues. The car runs really good and the engine sounds quite strong.
